In the UK, before the ipakita premiered there was a commercial for it that said, "the only way to fit in is to stand out". From then on, I always wondered that one such purpose of the series is to teach school kids to not be afraid to express themselves and be different to the crowd. Like when Andre says in the first episode, "normal's boring".
So I think that not only does it teach kids about the fun and hard work that goes into the performing arts, but also about individuality and being your own person instead of following the crowd.
